Smith Cemetery, Linn County, MO

This small cemetery is located on the Harley Smith farm. To reach it, from Laredo travel east on Route E approximately 3 miles. Turn south on Atom Drive and travel 1/2 mile to Afton Road. Turn east and travel 1/2 mile to the first farm entrance on the north side. The cemetery is located about 100 yards off the road and is accessible by the road running by an abandoned farmhouse. The cemetery is fenced and is overgrown with broom grass. Many stones have been set upright, but many are down and covered. (1998).

Update: in June 1999 the cemetery was cleaned and mowed by Neil Smith and others. Updates and corrections to the cemetery information are also courtesy of Neil Smith:
